A LOVE STORY

In Saeeda’s words

On January 10th, 2019 I flew to Ghana and I married my love Ebenezer Amartey. It was a wonderful journey that I would take again and again if I had the means to do so. Everyone wants to know when is he coming home. That brings me to this pool. My beautiful tribe insisted on being able to contribute. Eben and I are blown away by the generosity and love our friends are showing towards our happiness. We are opening the door for anyone who wants to give. The total sum is the cost to file the paperwork with immigration ($530) and the plane tickets ($3000) to bring Ebenezer home. I am personally saving and he is working on his end to take care of some things but the faster we raise the money, the faster he gets here. Thank you in advance for anything you decide to give. We are grateful and extremely appreciative. You are welcome to invite anyone to contribute to this pool. Please leave your email address so we can invite you to the celebration when he finally comes home.

A BENEFIT SHOW

As always, 100% of the door goes to the band.

Also, we’ve selected Saeeda for October’s Play It Forward artist. We’ll have a raffle, a donation jar, a 50/50 drawing with 100% of the proceeds going to Saeeda and Eben. And Catfish Lou’s will make a donation towards Eben’s immigration costs.
